1968 GIBSON Dove - Honorary Las Vegas Submission

Bill Binnings pictured here with his sunburst Gibson Dove. He's owned it since new (1968) & sent in the pic after visiting this site from his home out in Vegas. He does a regular gig with this fine guitar at the Sambalatte Coffee Shop in Summerlin Nevada. The playability
and sound is the big deal, on this vintage acoustic. Bill gets compliments all the time from other guitarists. The tone is so
full, resonant and mellow....the wood is wide-open after all these
years and it is all-original with a perfect setup. 10 gauge 80/20
bronze coated D'Addario strings sing like a bird, huge tone, quick
break-in, triple the life of a non-coated string (for real). Bill can't say enough about his one owner guit-fiddle. "You have to play and hear it to
understand. It is a life changer"!!

About Me

I have been a guitar trader in Minneapolis for many years. While I have traded many strats, teles, & Les Pauls in the past, I currently prefer to seek out the odd models scarce brands, & often unknown or unpopular specimens that tend to raise an eyebrow from discriminating collectors. I also enjoy canoeing, biking, sightseeing, conversation, gardening, & a good cocktail party. I'm always interested in a good trade if you've got something of interest. I can buy your old guitar for cash too. Don't be shy - I'm not, & I very much look forward to hearing from you.
